Imagine that Roland was now looking through the internet and came across this forum. To his dismay he’s found out that Katrien and Tony Cajones have been lying to him and its more than 2% of fans, more like 98% who want the regime gone. He’s seen the head of communications walk out after his “ill informed” rant. The security officer at the Valley has also quit because of the incompetence of the team he has put in charge. Because of his ignorance, the team is on the brink of relegation to the third tier of English football. No one respects him in England, they all think he is a madman, a laughing stock , a fool. He’s had Charlton fans come to Belgium and leaflet where his lives, they’ve been in his beloved St Truiden and protested. They’ve held a funeral for their club that has been reported on across the globe, not just in the UK and Belgium.
What message would you send to Roland?
What would you advise him to do?
Above all else, please keep it clean and be constructive! No swearing.
From me, it’s time to go Roland, it hasn’t worked and it will only get worse for you. The fans don’t love you, the people you put in charge have lied to you. You will never make this work. Talk to Peter Varney, he cares for this club. In you have any sense of responsibility, sell the club to him and walk away. You won’t beat us, we’re not “ignorant” like the Liege fans (as you claimed), we’re smart and you’ve only had a taste of what we can do.
Time to Go.

Surely there is only one question, huh.
Have you been servicing Katrien?
You will never make make money from this club without getting it into the Premiership. You will lose even more if we get relegated.
We won't stop until you are gone. Do yourself a big favour and get out sooner rather than later. The longer you stay the more your reputation and your wallet will be dented. Take Meire with you. Never was someone appointed to a position that they were more unsuited to. Go now before it's too late.
Edit: Sorry about the all the mean stuff these guys say about you.
Goodbye.
Are you my real daddy ?
because the kids in the play ground
Keep telling me your a weird Cockwomble.
SELL UP AND GO. PLEASE.
Please and thank you costs Nothing.
MK Dons is perfect for you.
No history, no fans with an expectation of influencing how their club is run, nice stadium with its own hotel and lots of restaurants all around, nice shiny seats too and a big car park.
Not Charlton, too much history here, too much expectation, no chance to develop the land or training ground, pesky fans who complain as they actually do know more than the idiots you've appointed.
You tried, it didn't work, cut your losses and concentrate on Alercon or STVV, anyone but Charlton.
You should realise by now that the team that you imposed upon us are appalling at their jobs. They have made it clear that they hate their customers (that's fans by the way) we are passionate about supporting Charlton.
We will not support your weird experient at our club. You see Charlton as a cash cow and have no interest in success on the pitch. This shows just how far removed from the real world you are. We will fight you in every way we can until you clear off back to the hole you crawled out from.
Your ideas are not welcome here, your CEO is not welcome here, you and your failed experiment are not welcome here.
To you Charlton is just about money but to many of us it is about our lives, our family our passion. You should look at the images of the number of supporters in the stands, not the fabricated figures released by your team. Next season will be much much worse.
Get out now and save yourself more grief and embarassment. We won't give up.
Thanks Colin.
Since you took over the club has gone downhill in every possible way in an alarmingly short space of time. You don't know what you're doing. The people you have employed don't know what they're doing, except for Ms Baroni, who promptly left when she realised what a mess we're in.
All I want from you, Roland, is to leave us alone. Sell up, get as much of your money back as you can and leave us in peace.
We're not going away. In fact, we've only just started. The protests will only continue and there will be more visits to your home town, more bad publicity, more match interruptions, more pressure, more media attention.
The sad thing is all the energy, time and money being spent on the protests were offered to Katrien for free. They could all be being used now to promote Charlton, sell tickets, increase income, sponsor players but instead it is going on protests.
Tony Keohone told Katrien not to talk to protesters or allow any people with knowledge onto the Target 20k group as he knew they would make him look bad and that is all that Tony Keohone cares about.
Tony Keohone hand picked the fans you spoke to when you came over. You didn't speak to anyone from the the protest groups as Keohone didnt want you to know the true feelings of fans, he wanted to hide it all from you.
That is the type of people you have working for you. You wouldn't let him near your other companies. Meanwhile, good staff like Mel Baroni and John Little (that's just this week) are being driven out by Keohone.
We all make mistakes, you're lucky enough to be able to afford this one. Sell the club at a reasonable price, write off the loss against the profits of your other companies and walk away, it really isn't worth the ever increasing hassle that will be coming your way.
Hello Roland
My six year old son dislikes the way that you are running the club so much he has a Roland Out sticker with your face on it which he uses for target practice every day.
In the morning, getting ready for school he can often be heard singing 'we want our Charlton back' and 'we want Roland out we want Roland out'.
He asks me, 'dad, when will Roland leave so we can go back to not protesting again'
Upset by the rapid turnover of inexperienced managers since Chris Powell and the rapid turnaround of players who don't make it he has embraced the protests since November.
Please sell the club, the experiment has failed and we want our Charlton back.
It will not get any better for you Owning the club, me, my son and the rest of the Charlton support promise you that.
Love your president

- Management on and off the field with a complete lack of experience of Championship football and a ridiculously high turnover of the former.
- Ridding the club of quality experienced Championship players and replacing them with cheap foreign imports not up to standard.
- Cutting the playing staff to a bare minimum at the start of the season with an over reliance on youth and severely damaging some of those players progression.
- Treating the fans with contempt, without whom you have no club and insulting them, not least of all by pointing the finger of blame at them for the sad state of affairs which has arisen.
- Having no regard for the history or traditions of this once great club which only a decade ago was held up as the prime example in this country of how to run a successful football club.
I can go on but you can see that notwithstanding the movement of FFP goalposts your break even / player farm experiment has failed miserably and you will only continue to throw good money after bad if you persist with this crazy ideology.
Do yourself a favour, think of your health and not least of all about your family having to sort this mess out should anything happen to you, sell up now and enjoy your retirement, you know it makes sense. Peter Varney is only at the end of the phone or an email but please don't delegate this approach, as your underlings can't be trusted, they are only interested in their own self preservation!
Look for a club that will voluntarily accept the experiment, and want to be part of the vision, talk to prospective investors and quietly move on.
Roland think of it like going to a restaurant. You thought you had a good table, but it turns out to be by the door to the kitchen and the passageway to the bogs. Move to a different table, because the restaurant isn't going to be rebuilt around you.
